Visa debit card deactivate

[SameekshyaM]

Dear Team,

For Card status update, I was able to find to find an endpoint service in "Card Services API"  --- "Card Status" --- "Update Card Status" but below is mentioned in the documentation

cardStatus

Optional

string

The card status key and description.Required for prepaid cards, not required for debit cards.

Does that mean card status is not needed for debit cards? If so is there no APIs available for updating the status of a debit card? In case we have an requirement to block a debit card due to lost or stolen how can that be handled?

For the cardStatus value what are the available values? In example only "Active" is mentioned.

For using the above "Update Card Status" endpoint a cardId is needed which is created using "Create Card ID for a PAN" is that cardId creation also happens for debit cards?

Are all the "Visa Transaction Controls" and "DPS Card and Account Services" services are available for debit cards or there are some restrictions on the APIs based on type of card.

Is the sandbox environment a proper replica of prod environment?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Sameekshya

Hey @mohamedchiheb07, 

When you create a test App in our sandbox you will receive test data in your App. The test data for your Visa Developer application is available in the Dashboard under test data in the left navigation, this will ensure that you are using valid data that has been provisioned for specific scenarios. You will basically have a table per API that is split into the Request and Response sections and the values on the Request section are meant to be populated in the payload with the intention of obtaining results specified in the Response section.
 
Sandbox data is limited to what is provided in the Test Data tables and is not integrated to the Visa Network and you cannot test real data in sandbox.
